Give and take …replenish the earth from which you have taken sustinence…and if you can …for the future …SOW SEEDS !
…and what is to stop you from sowing seeds in your secret wild places …the woods…the overgrown grave yards…country lanes and footpaths …disused gardens and wasteland .

I’m too lazy to find the story, but there was one guy in rural France who forested an entire valley single-handedly, over several decades. People were distracted by world wars and such rolling over the land, which allowed the forest to take hold uninhibited.
I’d like to do something like that, I must say.
